| Is walking A Good Cardio Exercise? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 03:14 AM PST Walking is an ideal form of exercise for cardio. And you need to walk at a speed and intensity that raises the demands on your pulse, lungs, and muscles to challenge your cardiovascular system. There are many of the same advantages of walking at a brisk or moderate-intensity speed as running. However, to lose as many calories and to enjoy some of the same advantages, you would need to walk for a longer period of time. The quicker the speed, the greater the heart rate, and the more calories you will burn over the same distance, the easier it is. Usually, the reports that say you can maintain a weight loss of a pound a week from walking presume that you walk at the speed needed to cover the approximate distance of 5 miles. For every mile walked, the average person burns about 100 calories. That means that, equal to one pound of fat, you will burn about 500 calories per day and 3,500 calories in a week. That's ideal, since losing one to two pounds a week is usually considered healthy. Here are benefits of 5 mile walking distance:

| How can one overcome guilt and shame while working out? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:18 PM PST During my workouts I generally feel guilt and shame. Guilt for feeling so week and shame for neglecting my body. Any thoughts or advice on how to overcome this? It keeps me from working out. [link] [comments] |
| How to combine strength, endurance and flexibility training? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 07:13 AM PST In the past two years I used bodyweight training to get in the best shape I have ever been: I finally gained some muscle and can be proud of my physique. Now I want to bring it on the next step tackling the two areas that I so far neglected: flexibility and endurance/cardio. I just started my winter break, I have plenty of time on my hand so for now my training follows this pattern: In the morning I will do a strength workout (I generally use the daily workout from darebee since they aren't too hard and they vary quite a lot). Then 2 afternoon/evenings a week I will do about 45 minutes/1 hour of yoga for flexibility while other 2 evenings I will go running for half an hour minimum for endurance. This schedule is working very well now that I have plenty of free time but I'm afraid once the classes start back I won't be able to dedicate around 2h to my workout so often. I'm looking to achieve a good level in all of the fields, nothing athlete level. There are any good programs/templates for training covering all this aspects that you know about and would suggest?

| How to progress when stuck with only body weight exercises Posted: 25 Jan 2021 09:06 AM PST I feel like I am stuck since I don't have any object to have more weight. So for example I don't know how to progress in my pull ups and arm strength. [link] [comments] |
| Possible stupid question about the RR Posted: 25 Jan 2021 09:49 AM PST I tried to look it up but I couldn't find anything. I just started the RR yesterday. And wanted to know if it was ok to do just ab workouts on the off days? Like I said I tried to find the answer but I couldn't. So sorry if it is posted somewhere. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| What if i don’t tran abs and im cutting ? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:13 AM PST If i don't train my abs and i lose the fat how is my stomach gonna look ? Am i gonna have muscles or just a flat stomach ? [link] [comments] |
| My abs are too pathetic/nonexistent Posted: 25 Jan 2021 11:22 AM PST I've been trying to do exercises like butterfly sit-ups and levitation crunches but I can't even do one, I need weights on my feet so I can bring myself up but that's obviously not how it works because it's the legs are that are doing most of the work, anybody got any tips/help?

| Tips for increasing motivation and discipline, developing a mindset for consistent work outs? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 10:35 AM PST I am a beginner when it comes to working out and I never really seriously worked out until COVID and I was stuck at home. But it ended up being more a cyclic thing—I would exercise consistently for a couple months then for one reason or another I'd stop, then start again after a while. I haven't done anything in a couple months and whatever excess fat I'd burned off is back. I know that I need to work out more since I'm just piling on fat and that it's easier to prevent the weight from building up than it is to burn it off (especially since I have a family history of weight problems and other health problems). But I have a lot of trouble even finding that motivation to start and to keep it consistent. For those of you who went through this when they were starting out, how did you change your mindset? What methods did you use to MAKE SURE that no matter what you didn't get lazy? My goals are to burn excess fat, not necessarily to reach a certain goal weight. I'm 23F, 135lb, 5'4 and initially my goal was to get to around 125-127 but I came to understand that if the fat is replaced by muscle there won't necessarily be that much of a decrease in the number I see on the scale but there definitely will be a change in my body. What are some of your favorite channels on YouTube for workouts or fitness apps? I used FitOn for a while. Also I know someone will mention changes in diet will help but I live at home with my parents who firmly believe that our diet (Indian) is the healthiest diet. Yes we have a lot of greens but we also have a lot of oil, and fatty foods like paneer/indian cottage cheese. Therefore allllll efforts I've made at asking them to adjust the food we eat has fallen on deaf ears and even led to big arguments. Thanks for any and all help!! [link] [comments] |
| What is this muscle/tendon? Elbow, forearm Posted: 25 Jan 2021 11:14 AM PST Hello, I wonder what is this tendon? https://i.postimg.cc/G2Nb801z/Screenshot-20210125-195957-Gallery.jpg I can't tell whether it belongs to the biceps, the brachialis or even to one of the forearm muscles. What i know is that it feels uncomfortable, and I'm afraid that's gonna strain or even worse at some point. Thats why I'd like to do some rehab exercised for it. But since I don't know what muscle it is, I don't know what exercises to do either. Disclaimer: No medical advise requested. EDIT: My arm is in an flexed and supinated Position.

| What are your thoughts on Ring Fit Adventure? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 11:03 AM PST Just bought Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch. I'm not quite flexible now as I (31 M) was some years ago due to bad ankles. Has anyone tried it? What are some results that you got? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2021 09:18 AM PST I work up to do push ups and can only do 4 on a good day so should I do negatives again to improve strength and up rest [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2021 09:56 AM PST I'm 43, 5-8, 170 pounds, ok shape...how many pushups at a minimum should I do a day to max my health? I'm not looking for chiseled pecs or anything, just max health benefits [link] [comments] |
| Should I buy a 20lbs body vest? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 11:39 AM PST I'm currently able to do 12 away hand pull ups and then 20 hand in pull ups. I can do 30 push-ups in a row and 15 pike ups. I'm doing this to get muscle so do you guys think it's a good idea to buy one? [link] [comments] |
| Hurt my pinky side on my elbow everytime I attempt to begin practicing shoulder flags Posted: 25 Jan 2021 06:47 AM PST Each time I try shoulder flags, the pinky side of my elbow ends up hurting me. Its frustrating because I don't get enough time to practice the movement because of it. My current though it that I am applying too much pressure inward, toward my temples, trying to use my triceps. Because its usually around my tricep that starts hurting afterwards. I should be pulling toward my shoulder instead. Has anyone had this problem before? What did you do to fix it? [link] [comments] |
| How important is it to do my workout all at once Posted: 25 Jan 2021 05:13 AM PST Hi, everyone. Newbie here. Since this pandemic started I've been doing a bit of bodyweight excercise, partly to make up for the fact that I don't get as much excercise in my daily routine-- I don't drive and used to walk about 8km a day before I was working from home-- but I never "worked out" per se. I'm doing excercises based on the minimalist routine I found here: I do push ups, holding planks with or without shoulder touches, row using a bedsheet over a door, squat, and sometimes do some chin ups. I've come a long way-- in April I could barely manage 4 push ups with proper form and now I do sets of 10 diamond push ups, or 30+ regular ones with my feet up on the coffee table. I'm certainly not ripped, but I look a lot less flabby and have visible muscles I haven't seen since I was in my 20s. It makes me feel better about my body (and my girlfriend is into it, too, y'know?) The thing is, I find excercising for long periods boring. Really, really dull. There's no way I can keep my attention on it for a half hour at a time to cycle through all the excercises in the recommended routine, or even the minimal routine. I know it would be easier to stay focused if I could take a class or something, but my city is in lockdown. I find it much easier to do a set or two then go away and work on something else for a while. When my attention is wandering during work, or in the middle of watching tv, I will stop and excercise for 2 or 3 or 5 minutes, then go back to what I'm doing for a while and maybe return to excercising in 10 minutes or 20 minutes or two hours. When I pass the park I go and do a few chin ups on the monkey bars, and when I pass a railing I'll do some inclined rows under it. So, I'll often do 100 push-ups in a day, but I rarely get myself to a point where I'm dripping in sweat or anything. So I know this isn't the most efficient way of doing things, but is it okay? I know I would burn a lot more calories if I kept my heart rate up for a solid 40 minutes but... I hate it. I've had some success just squeezing a bit of excercise into the corners of the day, but I'm well aware that's because I started out as a fat, weak, beginner. Am I going to continue to make any progress with this or do I really need to start setting an hour aside to be my work-out time? [link] [comments] |
| Planche pushups strength transfer to benchpress or other Weight exercises? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 12:32 PM PST So lets say that my current benchpress is 70kg at 65kg bodyweight. If i were to learn the planche and later on full planche pushups. Would my benchpress technically increase and if so by How much? [link] [comments] |
| How to warm up for pull ups and dips? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:27 AM PST I've been getting pretty good at pull ups and dips since I got my power tower a few months ago. I can do sets of 8 wide grip pull-ups and weighted dips with 35 lbs for sets of 10, at 215 lbs bodyweight. The issue is the first couple sets of each (unweighted), I feel so stiff, crunchy and they are a bit painful (DOMS from previous work out soreness type pain, nothing sharp and shooting). After the first couple shitty sets it's all smooth and feels good. How do I warm up to avoid this? I just got resistance bands as well. They are shitty cheap ones and probably not appropriate for assisted pull-ups/dips though (they are like a latex hose kind). I do these exercise first on their individual days ("pull" day, "push" day) because they are the big compounds I'm doing and the cornerstone of the whole workout. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2021 11:16 AM PST Hi, I'm very new to the working out and weight lifting world. I started about five months ago with my experienced boyfriend and with quarantine, I consistently train only two times a week. I recently had a personal goal to do a single pull-up. My back is probably the strongest part of my body, but that's not saying much considering everything else is weak city (especially my arms). With the help of my bf, I did 3x10 of jumping pull-up negatives (he would help me a little to jump then let me go down on my own). They were painful to do, but I felt like they were effectively working my muscles. I started to really feel the soreness in my arms a couple hours later. It's 3 days later, and I still am extremely sore in my arms. My lats are a regular amount of sore, but my biceps are still very tight and kind of swollen. I can only barely extend my arms fully and that's if I really push through the pain and try to stretch them there. The first day afterwards, I couldn't even properly raise my arms to wash my hair without feeling nauseous. Is this a normal reaction? This is definitely the most sore I have ever ever felt in my biceps and I'm scared that something is wrong because three days have past and it only slightly feels better. Also, if anyone could provide any tips to alleviate the soreness in arms to get over it faster - that would be greatly appreciated. I have been massaging it and trying to stretch them constantly. I am a female in her 20s, 5'2", 106 lbs. [link] [comments] |
| Can I do push ups with a weak shoulder? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 10:46 AM PST I would like to start doing push ups, but my shoulder has dislocated 4 times in the last 2 years. It's due to be operated on, but I don't know when now as COVID has delayed everything. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| Is the minimalist bodyweight workout in the wiki generally the optimal functional fitness workout? Posted: 25 Jan 2021 09:23 AM PST I'm wanting something low effort, cheap, minimalist, quick, and versatile that doesn't involve cardio or eating a bunch and just focuses on the muscular system, skeletal system, and musculoskeletal system.

| Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:46 AM PST Aaaaarrrrrggggghhh. Injured myself a couple of months ago( bloody dumbells) and I now have tennis elbow or something similar. I'm going to acupuncture weekly and trying to rest it up. Anyone have experience with recovery from such an injury? Any tips or exercises to speed up the recovery? Ps..I'm 46 so I'm figuring this slow recovery is just an age thing. Cheera [link] [comments] |
